Imagine Ourselves

You and me we're all the same,
All in wrestling with some pain,
Separation's killing me,
Communication cross this sea,

Oh, imagine ourselves,
Disintegrating to light,
Oh, imagine ourselves,
Tonight, tonight

I'm connected to your charge,
Make the circle,
With this star,

Oh, imagine ourselves,
Disintegrating to light,
Oh, imagine ourselves,
Disintegrating tonight,

Oh, imagine ourselves,
Disintegrating to light,
Oh, imagine ourselves,
Tonight,
These words,
Turn into light,
We fade,
Through space,
No self-contains,
We shine,
Beneath the seas,
A flame,

Through the phone line,
To my heart,
Feel so close,
So far apart,

Oh, imagine ourselves,
Disintegrating to light,
Oh, imagine ourselves,
Disintegrating tonight,

Oh, imagine ourselves,
Disintegrating to light,
Oh, imagine ourselves,
Tonight

James - Imagine Ourselves

Taken from the single I Know What I'm Here For

Written and performed by James

Song Structure:

There are no guitars in this song. If you want to play the chords, a capo placed at the third fret reduces it to mostly simple open chords (e.g. the chorus becomes C G Am F). Although the chord structure is more complex than a typical James song, once you've got the verse chords and the chorus chords sorted the only different bit is the "these words, turn into light" bit, which I've tabbed out anyway.

Note: Cmb6 , Gm/D
